Artist of the day: Shifty Eyed Dog

Clearwater‚Äôs Shifty Eyed Dog seamlessly blend R&B and funk at regular gigs around town, including a Sunday-night residency at the Blue Martini in Tampa.

Mic men Sean Harper and Brotha Mello give their sound a little hip-hop flavor, both on covers and originals, like reggaeton-tinged slow-burner Love You Leave You. This week, you can catch them at Jimmy B's in St. Pete Beach on Wednesday, and Gators on the Pass in Madiera Beach on Thursday.
